INSTRUCTIONS OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for improving driving safety, particularly to a method for using image processing to determine whether a vehicle body is offset or not to alert a person. [Prior Art] 装置 A device, system, and method that assists in driving safety and avoids driving because of fatigue or drunkenness has been the subject of unremitting research in the academic and industrial circles. In recent years, there has been a research and development direction mainly using image processing technology to identify the marking line of the lane, and to remind the driver of the warning when the vehicle body shifts out of the lane and crosses the lane marking. The possibility. For example, U.S. Patent No. 5,530,420 uses two image capturing devices mounted on the left and right of the rear view mirror to determine the position of the lane markings by using the captured image and the difference in viewing angle of the image capturing device. U.S. Patent No. 5,689,249 also utilizes an image capture device that can be photographed throughout the lane and mounted in the vehicle to determine lane markings. In addition to the image capture device, the US invention patent No. 6,489,887 is supplemented by an angle sensor to determine the relationship between the yaw angle of the k/f car and the curvature of the lane. In addition, China Patent No. 12280876 uses a single image capture device and a special image processing method to determine the improper offset during driving. The method needs to first set the "search area _j" of the image and then, under some conditions, issue a warning if the line is not found in the search area. 5 200948647 These prior art have a common location on the body: the left and right sides are trying Find out the warning when the front of the car body is abnormal. This is: the solution of the line 'and then the change of the two marking lines. These previous #^ kinds of rainy day lighting from the driver's or car (four) point of view; The main shortcomings are: (1) In the yin mechanism, there is no proper reflection in the image on the nighttime; (2) It is usually necessary to use the position of = to determine the position of the marking line. High; and (3) calculus ~ video recording i, thus becoming a car computer, thus further causing a miscellaneous ^' therefore requires a higher computing power ^ two · two costs. [The present invention] A novel and effective method to solve the shortcomings of the prior art. However, the simple and low-cost method first provides at least one image capturing device. In the method example, the image capturing device is installed. The system is installed on the left and right front wheels of the vehicle: on the front of the front, so that the captured image only contains the dark road surface and a single white or light colored marking on the side of the concentrated image. The continuous image captured, the method calculates the horizontal distribution of white or light pixels representing the lane markings. When it is found that white or light pixels move from one side of the image to the other (ie, white or light pixels) The distribution increases to the other side, or decreases to one side, which represents the possible occurrence of offset 6 200948647, and when the distribution of white or light pixels meets a judgment condition, the method provides at least an audible, reminder to the driver. For example, an alarm sound, a pre-recorded voice, etc. The above and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail later in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the detailed description of the embodiments, and the claims. The illustrations are purely illustrative of the spirit of the invention, and are not considered to be a definition of the scope of the invention. For the definition of the scope of the invention, please refer to the attached application. [Embodiment] The method uses image processing to determine the driving deviation. Therefore, at least one image capturing device (usually a photographic lens) is usually provided for implementation. In an embodiment of the method, As shown in FIG. 1A, the image capturing device 100 is mounted on the front of the front wheel tire 20 of the vehicle 10. Figure lb is a schematic view of the image captured by the image capturing device. The white paint is drawn on the dark asphalt pavement 2, and generally the contrast is quite obvious as long as it is appropriate illumination. The installation position and shooting range of the image capturing device 100 (as indicated by the dotted line) should be representative The light-colored blocks of line 1 are concentrated in the right half of the image. The method is generally implemented in an arithmetic device, which may be a driving computer owned by the vehicle 10 itself or an arithmetic device separately provided. In some embodiments, the image capture device and the computing device can also be combined into a single 7 200948647 device that is mounted on the front of the vehicle. The power required by both the computing device and the image capture device comes from the power system of the vehicle itself. The image captured by the image capture device 100 is processed by the arithmetic device via the appropriate signal connection. The conventional technique for determining the deviation of a vehicle is generally to use image processing to find a curve or line representing a line. This requires a considerable amount of computation. In contrast, the method for determining the deviation of the vehicle is quite simple. Taking the lb diagram as an example, the computing device only needs to find that the white or light color block representing the reticle moves from one side of the image to the other side in the continuous image. , it represents the deviation of the possible driving. One embodiment of the method is shown in Figures 2a to 2c. As shown in Fig. 2a, the method divides each image level into 6 regions of the same size A to F (i.e., each region has the same number of pixels), and then calculates each region to represent the white or light color of the marked line. The pixel (i.e., the luminance value above a reference value) is the latter degree D-Pwhite/Ptotal of the region, where 5 Pwhite represents the total number of white or light pixels in the region, and PtQtal represents the total number of pixels in the region. Hereinafter, in the present specification, Da, DB, ..., DF represents the density of white or light-colored pixels in each of the areas A to F. Under normal and stable driving conditions, the density DA, DB, ..., DF of the white or light-colored pixels indicating the markings in the image of each zone will remain basically the same (the change is also very small or temporary). For example, the density of D or D, Dd, DE, and DF of white or light pixels in the C to F area should be very close to zero, and 200948647 da and db each have a fairly stable value. When the driver is dozing or not awake and the car is shifted to the right, the captured image will be as shown in Figure 2b. Not only will Da and DB increase, but the almost zero Dc will continue to increase, then Dd. , DE, etc. will also happen the same phenomenon one by one. Therefore, from such a change trend, it can be judged whether or not there is a situation in which the driving is shifted to the right, and the calculation required is only to count the density of white or light pixels in each area. The determination condition may be implemented in various embodiments. For example, when a DC2TC (Tc is a critical value) is used, it is determined that the driving occurs to the right, and for example, a certain embodiment is used as DC^TC, and the driving is performed. When the speed is not zero, it is judged that the driving is shifted to the right, and for example, in a certain embodiment, DC^TC is adopted, the driving speed is not zero, and when the situation is maintained for more than a period of time, it is judged that the driving is shifted to the right. . When the driver is dozing or not awake and the car is shifted to the left, the captured image will be as shown in Figure 2c. First, Db will continue to decrease, and then Da will also have the same phenomenon. Therefore, from such a trend, it can be judged whether there is a situation in which the vehicle is shifted to the left. Similarly, the judgment condition may have various implementation manners. For example, when a certain embodiment adopts DA£TA, DBSTB (TA, TB is a critical value), it is determined that the driving is shifted to the left, and the driving speed may be combined. And whether the judgment condition is continuously established for a period of time or the like, and the vehicle shifts to the left in a more stable or accurate judgment. Another embodiment of the method is shown in Figures 3a to 3c. As shown in the figure, the method uses the horizontal direction of the image as the X-axis and the vertical direction as the Y-axis, and then calculates the number N(x) of white or light-colored pixels in the vertical direction at each horizontal position X of 200948647. Figure 3a is an N(x) curve (i.e., a thicker black line in the figure) drawn from the image of Figure 2a (shown in phantom). When the driver is dozing or not awake and the car is shifted to the right or left, the captured image will be as shown in Figure 2b or 2c. According to this embodiment, the 3b or 3c will be obtained. The N(x) curve shown in the figure. As can be seen from Fig. 3a, 3b, and 3c, when the driving is shifted to the left or right, the vertices of the N(x) curve (that is, the horizontal position xCQrner where white or light pixels appear in the vertical direction) are also Move right (Xcorner increases) or move left (Xcorner decreases). Therefore, it is possible to judge whether or not there is a situation in which the vehicle is shifted to the left from such a change trend. Similarly, the judgment condition may have various implementation manners. For example, when an embodiment adopts XcornerSTL or XC〇rne TR (TL, TR is a critical value), it is determined that the driving occurs to shift to the right or to the left. In addition, it is also possible to combine the driving speed, the presence or absence of the directional light, and whether the judgment condition is continued for a certain period of time or the like, so as to more accurately or accurately determine the deviation of the driving. Regardless of whether the number or density of pixels, or whether the segments are separated, the foregoing embodiments are based on the horizontal distribution of white or light pixels in the image. Then, when the horizontal distribution meets a judgment condition, it can be considered as having a driving deviation. Then, in addition to the captured image, this judgment condition can be combined with the judgment of other driving conditions, such as the speed of the vehicle at that time (the vehicle in the stationary state is necessary for no judgment, or the vehicle speed may be significantly slowed down because of driving) The person has the intention of the edge), whether the direction light on the same side as the offset direction is open (for example, if it is opened, it is not recognized as an offset, but the 200948647 is determined to be the side or the steering of the vehicle), and the condition that meets the judgment condition is continued for a while. , or a certain number of consecutive images have met the judgment conditions (if it is a short-term occurrence and return to normal, it is not recognized as an offset). Next, when it is judged that the offset occurs according to the foregoing manner, the method at least audibly alerts the driver, such as an alarm sound, a pre-recorded voice, and the like. These are usually achieved through a warning device. The warning device includes at least one speaker, and the speaker may be a speaker of the sound system of the vehicle ίο, or separately provided. The method can further provide visual reminders, such as flashing lights or text. These visual warnings may be displayed on a separately provided light number, or displayed on the dashboard of the vehicle 10 itself, a rear view mirror, or projected onto a windshield. When the captured image returns to normal (not meeting the judgment condition), the method automatically stops the hearing or visual warning. Please note that the image capturing device 100 can also be mounted on the front of the front tire of the vehicle 10, and the captured image will be as shown in Figure lb, but inverted. The manner in which the arithmetic unit determines the deviation of the vehicle is also as shown in Figs. 2a to 2c and 3a to 3c, but it is also performed in such a manner that the left and right are reversed. Because it is very similar, the following will not go into details. Another possible embodiment is that the image capturing device 100 is mounted on the front of the front left and right front tires of the vehicle 10, and then the image captured by the two lenses is processed simultaneously by the method, and then respectively According to the manner of the aforementioned 11 200948647, it is judged that the driving is shifted to the left or to the right. This method is slightly more expensive, but because there are two sets of images that can be comprehensively judged, the chance of misjudgment can be significantly reduced (for example, this method does not issue a warning when only one of them judges to be left or right). Figure 4 is a schematic view showing the mounting position of the image capturing device of another embodiment of the method. Under the vehicle body as shown, the image capturing device 100 is mounted under the vehicle body, and its position has four possibilities, namely, the front of the left and right front tires 20, or the front of the left and right rear tires 20, respectively. . These four locations can be installed either individually or all. The mounting position and shooting range of the image capturing device 100 (as indicated by a broken line) should be such that the light blocks representing the marking 1 are concentrated on one side or one side of the image. When the image capturing device is provided, the illumination unit 1〇1 (for example, a light-emitting diode lamp) may be further provided on or near the image capturing device to be in poor lighting conditions during rainy days, or Provides additional illumination and fill light when there is no proper reflection mechanism on the night line. The projection range is substantially the same as the shooting range of the image capturing device 100. Please note that the main spirit of the method is to make the image capturing device as close as possible to the marking on the road surface and on one side, so that the captured image mainly contains only the dark road surface and the single light color marking line, and the marking line is made. Appears on one side of the image, so the location of the installation is not limited to the above. Since the captured image is simple, the difficulty of image processing can be greatly reduced, and only the horizontal division of white or light pixels in the 12 200948647 image can be used, and the directional-square offset can be corrected. To the safety of driving.
